A poll conducted by Activot between August 6 and September 5 shows Slotkin leading her opponent by 6.4 points among 400 likely voters in the key battleground state. The Senatefrom 53.2 percent to its 46.8 percent.
Her lead is out of the poll margin of plus or minus 4.9 percent.
Slotkin and Rogers are running for a Senate seat that became vacant when incumbent Senator Debbie Stabenow announced her retirement after 23 years on the job. DemocratsWith the current narrow majority in the Senate, the race could determine who controls the chamber from 2025.
Polls so far have given Slotkin a comfortable lead over Rogers, with the latest poll published on August 29 by the Glengarriff Group putting her ahead of Rogers by 9 points, 44 percent to 35 percent. Another recent August poll conducted by TIPP Insights has Slotkin ahead of his opponent by 12 points.

However, despite Slotkin’s lead, Rogers has the support of the former president Donald Trump and national financial backing Republicans in the race, which could help his prospects in November. The nonpartisan Cook Political Report rated the contest for the seat as a tossup.
“This race is going to go down to the wire,” the former Michigan Republicans Rap. Fred Upton told The Associated Press in August. “These two will be heavyweights, positively. They really know the issues and will go at them one-on-one.” Republicans haven’t won a Senate race in Michigan since 1994.
The most recent ActiVote poll shows Slotkin has a clear lead among urban voters, as well as young voters and women—reflecting voting behavior among Democrats nationwide—while Rogers leads among suburban voters, older voters and men.

However, the sample size is small, so it may not be representative.
Both candidates are tied among independents and rural voters.
Slotkin, who currently represents Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) analyst and Defense Department official, formerly representing the state’s 8th district.
Rogers is the former FBI Special Agent and Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Instead, Slotkin has accepted an invitation to participate in two televised debates, the first on October 9 and the second on October 14, the newspaper reported.
Her spokesman, Austin Cook, told the publication that the congresswoman is “fully keeping with precedent in past statewide races.”
“Representative. Slotkin looks forward to being on the debate stage and giving voters a clear picture of both candidates and their very different visions for Michigan’s future,” Cook said in a statement.
Rogers said Detroit News Last month he participated in all three debates organized by the Michigan Debate Task Force. “We’ll do all three, absolutely,” he said. “We hope to do more.” However, he has not confirmed that he will participate in the two October televised debates.
“Let me just be clear, I look forward to debating Mr. Rogers in this race, holding him accountable, and I hope he meets me on the debate stage,” Slotkin said the night she won the primary. .
